I talk to all my plants. My time in the garden is special to me. It’s a serene place to enjoy all of nature. I plant lots of flowers for hummingbirds. They showed up in full force a few weeks ago. Thanks for the inspirations.

First – Those green and purple petunias are spectacular! You've inspired me to look for some.

Thank you for all of these beautiful images of your container garden. I've had gardens nearly everywhere I've lived, but since I returned to Mass. five years ago I haven't had a place to plant. I'm having some yard work done that will soon allow me to plant a new perennial garden, and you've just given me a whole big dose of inspiration! xoxo
